Reports from Japan indicate that Bandai will be slowing production of Wonderswan hardware - producing only as much as there are orders for - and will soon discontinue production completely. Bandai will reportedly begin Gameboy Advance development soon and will have three or four titles available this fall.

18 Feb 2003 18:45 staff Rahul Face of Square Haven online \| PM \| e-mail	Curious how this stuff appears in Japanese at the middle of the night here (morning in Japan), then Gamefront in the morning, and Gamers.com in the evening. It's like they're all ripping each other off! Where is the original news source??

That could explain why Square & Musique, which is more comprehensive than any similar English site I've seen (especially the ones that purportedly give [Square] music the respect it deserves), manages to go unnoticed. Pass something off as your own and the average visitor doesn't know any better.
